| The first snow did help cushion the blow a bit! |
My daughter had requested that we see The Martian, so off we went today in the midst of a weekend that was otherwise filled with soccer games and hospital visits to see her injured father and his girlfriend.
The movie was decent, albeit long, but it kinda didn't matter so much what was happening on the screen as much as it mattered that I was there to see it (as opposed to dealing with real life).
One of my favorite moments in the film came when they played this classic tune:
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul,
he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV
we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
Yes, Starman the children deserve to feel free enough to boogie, as do the rest of us, but sometimes that's just not what life presents us with...
